Photographer’s Note
Katen is an annual Cambodian festival at the end of rainy season. It is the time when people collect donation and bring it to temple. Every temple is supposed to have one Katen every year. The giant doll (known as Moung Sai in Khmer) has become a rare thing to see in city like Phnom Penh.

I love the fact that the giant doll seems to be the focus of everything--visually, the look from the surrounding people, and the buildings that form the outer surrounding. I feel that you could have cropped out the man's arm, but would lessen the focus on the giant doll.
By the way, are you saying the picture was taken in Phnom Penh? I am not familiar with the surrounding.
